Most visitors reach Pico through the Azores air network and the Central Group ferries:

Fly to Pico Airport (PIX) via Azores hubs (often Ponta Delgada, PDL, or Terceira, TER), then connect onward by rental car or taxi.
If you are already in the Central Group, the Horta (Faial) to Madalena (Pico) ferry is a fast, practical transfer.
If your itinerary depends on offshore diving, add buffer days for weather and consider the flexibility of splitting time between Pico and Faial.

Travel note for Schengen borders: new biometric entry processes (EES) began rolling out from 12 Oct 2025, and ETIAS is not expected to start until late 2026.

A rental car is the easiest way to dive Pico efficiently and explore topside. Roads are generally manageable, but expect narrow rural sections and fast-changing weather.
